Media markt and Saturn there isn't two much between them, ps4 and xbone bigger. But toys r us wii u section bigger and toy world doesn't even sell ps4 or bone only 3ds wii u. The ones I have visited anyway. 

Ahh right Toys´r Us. Yeah their Wii U section is actually larger than PS4/Xone. But what´s a Toy world? Never heard of that oO

And somehow this console is supposed to last until 2018...

If they take Mario Kart 8 off of store shelves, that's bad on them. Other than that it's pretty typical to only find the major games in places like Walmart. You have always had to go to Gamestop/ect (major video game retailers) to get smaller niche games for every console. This is completely non news.

Rule #1 is retail is to not waste limited shelf space on products that aren't popular. It has nothing to do with egos, fanboys, or consoles of choice. If it doesn't sell adequately then you replace it with something that does.

Not on any big titles though, it will still carry those.... Which is all they really ever carried in the first place...

Some are saying that this has no effect, seeing as it's just one chain of stores. However, the story is much the same in most major store chains and most dedicated gaming stores have it even worse.
I still remember when retailers returned consoles from the initial first quarter shipment about one year after release because they couldn't sell them; yet this is only seen as a tiny issue by some.

There is absolutely no hold in thinking that they'll wait till 2018 (or even 2017 at this point) before releasing a new console, waiting another three years would be a disaster.

This reminds me of the late Gamecube era, when UK retailers already stopped stocking GC consoles and game... Which made me very disappointed, because that was the only console I owned from this generation.

The UK was never really fond of the Nintendo consoles, anyway. They're all about sports and shooting games.

I'll put you easier. Explain to us how this doesn't harm the Nintendo perception in the biggest market in Europe and how with this pitiful sales are they supposed to last 2 or 3 years.

1,2,3,4,5 and all the ones you like to add: UK Is the biggest market in Europe. Germany and France being bigger for Nintendo in sales doesn't mean UK is not a bigger market, which clearly has affected Wii U sales in all the continent. And pulling off any product of your company out of stores in never a good sign as many other retailers could follow, just like what happend to Vita. Less exposure is by no means good.

BTW, I want to know how will this aid the lifespan of the console.
